my roman empire is how we all learned earlier in the pandemic that mitigating COVID mitigates climate change and nearly everyone, including environmentalists, immediately abandoned this as a strategy in favor of the ableist, capitalist death cult to get back to “normal”

Wouldn’t it be great if we had access to the new XBB.1.5 vaccine in New Zealand instead of having to wait months on end for no discernible reason. 🤔🫠

RATs will continue to be available for free until 30 June 2024.

Maybe we should ensure access remains in place for antivirals and vaccines, and funding is not removed for RAT tests and masks 🤔
While we are at it, mask use in hospitals seems like a basic and easy thing to prevent the spread of Covid and associated impacts.
Australia, now👇😔

[Make it 16 @makeit16nz]

The Government has asked the justice select committee to end consideration of the Bill to lower the voting age for local elections. They are shutting down public consultation. Young people will not even get a say on our own voting rights. That is a disgrace.

[Dame Sa 🐝 3.5% @LongCovidHell]

The most common reason for school absence is illness.

Most illness is spread through the air: Flu, Measles, Norovirus, Covid, etc.

HEPA filters stop between 20-80% of airborne infections.

So, why isn’t anyone cleaning the air in schools? 🤯

"democracy is on the ballot" ..no, it's not. two factions of capital are on the ballot. the united states is a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, a democracy only in name. please stop pretending otherwise 🙏

“We can take action to strengthen infrastructure and improve policies if we work together, hold leaders accountable, and shift toward a culture of collectivity that recognizes interdependence, leaving no one behind.”
This is why RAT tests must remain free. https://t.co/Ax0Ab1mFcB

NZ’s public health approach is about to be undermined by decisions being made now on cutting free access to RAT tests/masks and “trimming” treatment/vaccine funding.

Some reasons here why this is very concerning, and inequitable:

If you have capacity…

I wish that when we look at the widespread removal of access to information, we would look at it from an equity lens.
People should be able to tell their GP they are positive.
People should be able to keep themselves and others safe in an ongoing pandemic.

I created this Long COVID game for my classes (reproduced here in a Twitter thread). I found it incredibly effective at illustrating the cumulative risk of Long COVID.

I then provided every student with an N95 respirator. All my students now mask, >90% with an N95.
